My New Desire

I see your picture 

And I sigh

You’re a fixture 

Of my days and nights 

I look at your photos 

And I cry

For I’m now solo

And without a how or why

Your pretty face 

Your black nails

Your secret place 

You shared without fail

You were a blessing 

You were a new fire

Now I’m guessing 

If I’ll ever see you—my new desire 

The days don’t seem right 

Time drags by

The loneliness of the nights

Can’t sleep, I just sigh

Your pretty face 

Your black nails

Your secret place 

You shared without fail

You were a blessing 

You were a new fire

Now I’m guessing 

If I’ll ever see you—my new desire
